The King of the river…

For Christmas this year my parents tracked down this old picture of a wonderful childhood memory that had previously been lost.

I caught this King on the second cast of my first fishing trip in Alaska when I was 15 years old. Although there were many other fish caught on this surreal trip to Alaska, none held a candle to this one. It’s nice to finally have the picture to validate the many stories I have told of this river running giant.

WOW! What a giant fish! So your love of fishing started a long time ago.

Holy crap! That fish is huge! How are you going to top that?

I’m not quite sure Mike but it’s I am going to enjoy trying.
